Shot¶

The Shot class contains all information required to calculate a ballistic trajectory:

• Atmosphere and winds.
• Ammunition characteristics.
• Gun and Sight characteristics.
• look_angle (a.k.a. slant angle): sight line angle relative to horizontal.
• relative_angle (a.k.a. hold): adjustment added by shooter to the gun's zero_elevation.
• cant_angle: any rotation of the sight away from vertical alignment above the gun's barrel.
• azimuth: Azimuth of the shooting direction in degrees [0, 360). Optional, for Coriolis effects.
• latitude: Latitude of the shooting location in degrees [-90, 90]. Optional, for Coriolis effects.

If user supplies latitude and azimuth then engines will include Coriolis acceleration. If user supplies only latitude then a horizontal Coriolis approximation is applied.
